You can always tell a true rifleman because they know how to mount a scope. As low to the bore as you can get!

30-06, 12 gauge, .22lr, and what ever pistol makes you feel good.
That’s pretty basic, and if you need a spare, and you do need a spare, any flavor of 223 would fit in quite well.
Low sectional density, light bullet....Doesn’t surprise me at all.
Just avoid anchorage and youll be fine.
Cant believe I havent seen this caliber mentioned, if it is I overlooked it. THE VENERABLE .35 WHELAN
I agree, I can't believe how many want to brag on them, but can't even spell the name right.I have a question, and I’m not trying to be a jerk or a wise Alec. Is there a “thing” with Whelen fans about mispelling Whelen with “Whelan”? I see that a lot and was wondering if there was something to it or if it was a colloquial thing or what?
.35 Whalin? .375 HnH, etc.......Stock up on ammo.
If you go to the villages, and hunters often do, the basic calibers will usually be around, the odd or special will be hard to find.
Bring plenty of ammo, and bring spare, then pack some more. 50 lbs on 5he jets into major city’s and airlines are very gun friendly, with vendors in Anch airport, at least, helping with small stuff.
I’ll betcha that’s why you shoot one of them Molly’s-Aunt rifles from the USSR!
You can hunt them with a sling shot, IF you have some one backing you up with a rifle...There is a guy on Texasbowhunter.com in the interior hunting brown bears right now, WITH A BOW. He is doing a live hunt, but hasn't posted in a couple of days, due to lack of cell service. Imagine that, no cell service.
I buy ammo by the case, by the pound, by the ton.....and got my village store to get me some 762x54r made by PPU.
Jus sayin that new or odd ammo may not be readily available where the critters are.

Nobody I know has ever heard of it.
The continental version of the .375H&H. There was a whole lot game up to and including elephants potted with the various 9.3MM rifles in the era of the German colonies in Africa. But the Brits and Americans preferred the 9.5MM round AKA the .375H&H because .375 is more better than .366 don’t you know.As an aside, but in the same ballpark...
How is the 9.3x62mm following in AK?
